I Tossed the First Stone

Would my life be happy if I had never known the quavering ripples I caused by tossing that first stone Tranquil waters of a lake, would never slake my thirst March 31, 2023 Bite Size Contest no.61 Poetry Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

A mentor always told me "to be the pebble" and let the ripples sort themselves out.....Kinda like the butterflies wings thing. Nicely done

Hi John, I can see where that advice would certainly suit me. I've tossed pebbles where I sometimes shouldn't have, but once tossed the ripples cannot be recalled. Thank you for the great comment.

Hi Sam, thanks so much for reading me. I've kind of been a stranger here lately but trying to balance myself in life. Hope you're well. Have a sweet weekend.
